   Greg McAdoo did a very nice presentation.I believe i understand philosophy.
   1.) Product / Service – Wanted or needed
   2.) Management TEAM – Experienced in P/S
   3.) Capital – Enough for a 3-5 yr. run
   Question to Sequoia: Where is your vetting team?
   In house or out?
   Thank you for your time…
   Sincerely,
   Bruce Wert
